联邦政府将从2026年春季开始,对加拿大钢铁和木材的跨省轨道运输降低50%的货物费用,但尽管每年通过圣劳伦斯海路运送超过10万钢铁,但海洋航运被排除在外. The federal government will cut freight rates by 50% for rail transport of Canadian steel and lumber interprovincially starting spring 2026, but marine shipping was excluded despite moving over 100,000 tonnes of steel annually via the St. Lawrence Seaway. 业内团体表示,排除铁路的做法给铁路带来不公平优势,威胁就业和基础设施,破坏了均衡的运输政策. Industry groups say the exclusion creates an unfair advantage for rail, threatens jobs and infrastructure, and undermines balanced transportation policy. 它们强调海运在国家贸易中的关键作用,并指出加拿大80%的消费品通过水路抵达,敦促政府纠正这一错误.
